This dress is beautiful but it is very sheer, too long, and the top was ill fitting. Sheerness: I was wearing nude underwear and they appeared BLACK through the two layers of sheer chiffon. I had to wear a slip. Be sure you have one on hand as I had to run to Target on my way to the party. Length: I ordered a Regular length so I could wear flats and since I am 5'-6" (the suggested upper height) I figured it would be okay. Nope. The inner layer was the correct length for flats but the outter layer was 5" longer. I had to buy new platform wedges (in a different Target trip than the slip) in order to make the dress wearable and the dress was still grazing the floor. Top: I had read others say that the top was very fitted and to size up, so I did. It is not the "top" that is fitted. There is a small empire waist that is lightly elastic but not very flexible--that is what is "tight". The rest of the top is VERY blousy. I am a 34DDD and I did not have enough "bulk" to fill out the top. I was constantly checking to make sure half of my bra was not showing (I joked with people that I was just going to tuck the top in to my bra cups to keep from flashing people and doing so made the dress very J-Loesque or else I would have!) So, this dress was beautiful and I got a lot of compliments on it but if I had any other option I would not have worn this dress. Perhaps an 8 or a 10 would have been better but they weren't able to send any other size because they were sold out.
